    Just for fun I installed the Hard Reset Game demo on my M11xR1.
    Plays well, but probably will be even smoother on an M11xR2.

    It has a benchmark option in the demo with my M11xR1 giving an average FPS rate of approx 14FPS.

    Hard Reset as seen from the demo, was fun with good graphics and played very smoothly on my M11xR1.

    It looked quite impressive on a 50" Full-HD Plasma TV with graphics set to ultra.

    I played the game on my P4 3.2Ghz dual thread desktop and noted the CPU was at maximum all the time. With an Radeon™ HD 3850 GPU the game was still quite playable at 1920x1200.

    So there you go, Hard Reset just for fun.

    Looks interesting enough to dload - so I did!

    Tried the benchmark and got:
    Min FPS: 10.0
    Max FPS: 63.6
    Avg FPS: 17.8

    This was native res on R1 screen. Default install. CPU oc'd but not GPU. 263 driver set.

    On my 24"@1080 I got:
    Min 10
    Max 40.9
    Avg 16.0
